Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup uncooked white rice
- 0.25 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups water
- 2 pieces pitted dates (optional for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the white rice and rolled oats under cool water using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch and debris.
Add the rinsed rice, oats, and 4 cups of water to a blender. Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes to soften the ingredients.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the liquid turns white and creamy.
If using dates, vanilla extract, or salt, add them to the blender and blend again briefly to combine.
Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or clean cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher. Squeeze or press the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the strained rice oat milk into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
Enjoy chilled, over cereal, in coffee, or as a refreshing standalone drink!
